"I have always been a strong supporter of the IMA, and have been an associate member for over 20 years. I encourage assessors to participate in the IMA's activities and to obtain their M.I.M.A. The M.I.M.A. designation is widely accepted at the Assessment Review Board. Proposed experts with the IMA's designation are rarely challenged on their qualification to give opinion evidence to the Board. In addition to the Board's recognition, I believe the IMA offers assessors an accessible, affordable source of assessment and valuation information that is not available anywhere else and is directly relevant to what they do every day."Karey Lunau, Affiliate, Certified Specialist, Conway Davis Gryski
